LONDON, August 9--1he French press

see in the British protfer OF assistance 10
Italy another instance OF the deliberate
purpose OF England 10 encourage Italy in
her projects at MaSSowah and other points,
and to still further strain the relations be
tween that country and France.
In view of the likelihood that the posi-
ton of Italy will become less precarious
through the intervention OF Great Britain,
these journals demand that the Govern
ment interpoSe it's protest against Eng
lands interference to render ltaly's other
wise hopeless occupation of territory or

they claim, are virtually prisoners in
Massowah, and if il were not for the fact
that King John has been repreSsed by
England, and incidentally that that mon
arch Is still under the CoercIve influence OF
John Bull the Sous OF Italy would long
ago have met the fate OF King Pharaoh's
forces.
Moreover, il is contended in support of
the demand for the interference of the
French Government To prevent England
from lending aid 10 Italy, that ammunl-
ton and hospital stores are freely loaned
to the Italians by the English, and of
these the former stand in great need.
Their communications with the Rome
Government are irregular and uncertain,
and frequent skirmiShes with the Abys-
sinians and eyer-prescnt disease have de-
pleted their stores and enlarged their sick
list TO such an extent that reiniOrcements
are greatly needed. The intense heat
sickness. the danger Of the confined posi-
tion they occupy, and woetul lack of the
ordinary conveniences OF life have COM
pletely demoraiiHed the troops, and suicides
among officers as well is men, through
despair and frenzy are frequent.
